While leafing through magazines at a local shop, I found VEIL: Wisconsin's Wedding Magazine, and opened it expecting to find typical bony "brides" within its pages. Imagine my delight when I discovered a feature on full-figured bridal fashion, modeled by voluptuous young models!

Shot at Milwaukee's magnificent Boerner Botanical Gardens, the six-page article shows gowns for both brides and bridesmaids, in a variety of silhouettes and colors. The lush gardens are a popular wedding venue and make a perfect backdrop for timeless beauty. The models are identified as Cheryl H., Hannah A., and Joy R.

To feast your eyes further, visit VEIL's Web site and scroll down to "Enchanted Beauty." You can also view the whole magazine here. Be sure to take a look at pages 76-77; these three models appear there, modeling romantic flower crowns.
